Abstract

Chromones are efficiently zancated in position C(3) in THF by using the commercially available amide base TMPZnCl center dot LiCl (TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl). Additionally, in the presence of a Lewis acid such as MgCl2, zincation using TMPZnCl center dot LiCl occurs at C(2). These metalation reactions are carried out on a SO mmol scale, and the metalation selectivities have been compared with the corresponding small-scale reactions (2 mmol). The resulting zinc organometallics undergo smooth reactions with various electrophiles, for example, Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions or Cu-catalyzed acylations or allylations.
